Neanderthal Seeks Human (Knitting in the City Book 1) by Penny Reid is another book that will sweep you off your feet and make you fall in love with the main female character. Janie Morris is a straight up nerd and I love her for that. She will give you facts that you don’t want to know but once you heard it, you are in awe of her.

Thank you Penny Reid for making Janie stand out in a sea of female characters. She is unique and she owns it. The story starts off with a horrible day for Janie. How she handles is what is truly amazing. She doesn’t mope or whine but rather she makes plans.Quinn Sullivan is the male character lead. I might have developed a slight crush on him but that’s okay. He appreciates Janie for how she is and does not try to change her.

The next thing that I loved about this book was the female friends that Janie had in a knitting group. They weren’t catty or backstabbing but they were legit friends or almost like a family. Strong female friendships need to exist more in books. This story had it all funny one liners, strong characters, love, action, deception, and betrayal.
